"Hey, man...what's the day today? Why are two cars passing by in a while?"

At Wuchang Wharf, a brand new Ford car drove over. At the wharf, several merchants who looked like they came to Hubei were stunned and quickly asked the guy selling some snacks near the wharf.

New things like cars are rarely seen in Shanghai and Tianjin, where foreigners gather, but they appear most frequently in Sichuan, Hubei, especially in Wuchang and Chongqing. The guy looked at the license plate that went away and smiled and said, "You are the right person, have you seen it? The license plate is Wu 0-006, a special car for the parliament. Just now, it should be the president of the parliament. As for what happened, according to the smallest point, it is probably some important guests from the dock, right? A team of soldiers passed by, but they didn't bring the honor guard. Only one car with the top five car numbers came. I guess it was not a big man. You don't know that when President Sun came, the entire dock was blocked by the military government, and all five cars came!"

One of the merchants was stunned and wanted to ask again. Seeing that the guy was busy calling and greeting customers, he bought a snack from him knowingly, and continued to ask: "Why do there are many cars in Wuchang? They were all bought by the military government?"

The guy nodded, "I heard that the strategy made adults follow their parents to make a living in Citigroup when they were young. They stayed abroad for a long time and had more new tricks. Now there are 22 cars in Wuchang, all of which are used for senior officials of the military government! 001 and 002 are used for the Supervisory Office and the Military Commission, 003,004,005 are used for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Yangtze Army Officer Academy. In the future, the vehicles are used for the parliament, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Western Reserve Bank and other government departments, and are all special cars purchased by the government and foreigners!"

Only then did several businessmen realize it!

The guy was quite insightful, it was indeed good. The Ford car with license plate number Wu 0-006 was now the current president of the Sichuan-Europe Union Parliament.

"At first, the military government had to arrange a car for me, but I didn't expect that after I personally experienced it, I felt that the car was different from our carriage again! Is this the power of large-scale industry that the management often talks about?"

As he was about to arrive at the dock, Tang Hualong sat in the car and said with a smile to the Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting next to him.

Wang Zhengting nodded, "Yes, this car is indeed much more convenient than the carriage. I heard that the State Administration for Industry and Commerce is choosing an address. If it can be negotiated with Germany, we will build our own car production factory in Chongqing before the end of many years! Just like Feng Jiuru's aircraft factory!"

"Oh?" Tang Hualong was surprised. He was busy formulating and improving various laws in Sichuan and Hubei every day. He was either going to work for the power of the Joint Parliament and the first election at the end of the year. However, Wang Zhengting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew this news clearly.

Tang Hualong lowered his voice, "Minister Wang, I heard that the military government is now negotiating with Germany on cooperation. What is the situation now? Do you have any idea?"

"It's almost the same..." Wang Zhengting smiled. This is not news. In order to offset the adverse impact of Britain's hostility to Sichuan and Hubei, and to force Austro-Hungary and the United States to invest more energy in Sichuan and Hubei, the military government has been negotiating cooperation with Germany for many days in recent months, but the military government has not responded.

"With foreigners, the strategy makes adults have more means than us. During the negotiation process, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just engaged in some irrelevant, finalization and drafting agreements. Now the contract between us and Germany has basically been finalized. It is estimated that the signing of the contract will only take place in the past few days, but at that time, we will consider the impact and choose to downplay this matter and sign the secretly!"

Tang Hualong nodded, but felt a little moved in his heart that his old friend Li Yuanhong lost to Li Han. Compared to Li Yuanhong, Li Han obviously knows the control of centralization and decentralization. For example, there is no room for outsiders to intervene in military power and financial power. I heard that the military government has a secret intelligence department, which is said to be not only powerful but also hidden. Now, except for his former adjutant who often goes in and out of Li Han's mansion, Li Donglai, seems to be responsible, the outside world knows very little.

"At this time, I don't know that news suddenly came that Zhang Jizhi and Zhang Taiyan, two well-known people in China, joined forces to our Sichuan and Hubei team, but I don't know what happened!"

Wang Zhengting suddenly asked, Tang Hualong felt thoughtful, but smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe he came to Sichuan and Hubei to discuss any commercial matters!"

The car slowly drove into the dock. A group of guard soldiers saw the car coming from afar and immediately assigned several soldiers to guide them. The car quickly stopped beside him. Minister of Civil Affairs Zhang Meisheng had been waiting there for a while.

"Hello, two sirs!"

"Minister Zhang came early!"

Tang Hualong nodded to him, and the two were very polite to the true confidant of Li Han in front of him. This Zhang Meisheng Tang Hualong is not unfamiliar with this. When Ruicheng supervised the Huguang office in the early years, he was the speaker of the Hubei Advisory Bureau. He had been to Ruicheng's supervisory office a lot, but he knew the Minister of Civil Affairs who was from the master. Zhang Meisheng still had the ability, and he had been with Li Han for a long time, so it was a blessing to be able to get the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.

The three of them did not have much communication, but they knew what factions Li Han was most taboo, so at least on the surface, they were talking and laughing when they stood together.

Several of them stood in front of the dock, and each sorted out the clothing and instruments on the pier, stood at the dock and looked northeast, and it seemed that they were waiting for someone.

Soon a ship sailing from Hankou arrived at Wuchang Port. It was the Jiang Ship of the steamship Merchants Corporation, which specialized in the Hankou-Jiujiang-Nanjing line. It seemed that it had been booked for someone. Now it has diverted from Hankou to Wuchang!

"Brother Jiwu, Ji Zhi came to bother me!"

As soon as the river ship stopped, a hearty laughter came from the ship. His Wunong Township was a strong accent. He was Zhang Jian and Zhang Jizhi, a famous domestic industrialist and chief of the cabinet's rural businessman.

"Boss Ji came to me in Sichuan and Hubei, and I was very happy. This must be Mr. Taiyan, who is famous all over the world. Thank you all for your hard work!"

Tang Hualong greeted him with a smile, but there was no change in Zhang Meisheng's face. He still smiled and followed Wang Zhengting to meet him. You should know that in terms of real power, his Minister of Civil Affairs is much bigger than Tang Hualong, the president of the *** and the president of the parliament.

Zhang Jian was an old man in his sixties, wearing a blue-gray short shirt, and he looked very energetic. Following him was a middle-aged scholar in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses and shaking with a fan in his hand, which was obviously very hot.

Both of them were carrying luggage, and there were six or seven people accompanying him, but they didn't carry their luggage. Zhang Meisheng looked at it and immediately understood. Before coming, Li Han mentioned that the intelligence department's personnel in Hankou had seen several people arrive in Hankou early yesterday morning. He must have lived in the concession area, rather than choosing Wuchang.

"Brother Jiwu, how many offends... how many offends, we are here to go to Hubei to travel businessmen, so we were not easy to bother, but we were temporarily entrusted, but we wanted to come and disturb us!"

Zhang Jian bowed his fists and greeted him. He, the chief of the inner department, placed his position very low. He deserved to be an old fox who had been working hard in the mall for decades. His words eliminated the embarrassment of everyone's identity.

"Sir, it's so good!"

This chapter of Taiyan is the number one wonderful person. Compared to Zhang Jian, who was wearing simple clothes around him, who also showed extraordinary temperament, the oil star could be seen on his collar. However, he was unconventional about his clothes and dressing. Master Pu Xue was the number one wonderful person in the late Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Jian naturally knew that this Zhang Taiyan’s strange problem was, but he was afraid that his temper would be bad. Tang Hualong and the other two hurriedly took the speech: “Brother Jiwu, now he has forgotten his brother, and he has never recommended the first two adults to me!”

Tang Hualong and Zhang Jian are old acquaintances. They both belong to constitutional factional faction in the Advisory Bureau. At that time, Tang Hualong was the Speaker of the Advisory Bureau. Zhang Jian was not only the Speaker of Jiangsu, but also the Director of Education in the National Age. He had known each other a few years ago. In addition, Tang Hualong was taken care of by him after following Huang Xing to Nanjing, so the two were barely considered good friends!

"Old Ji is joking, come on, Mr. Ji, Mr. Taiyan, I will introduce these two people around me to you. This is Zhang Meiting, Minister of Civil Affairs of the United Military Government, and this is Wang Rutang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Military Government!"

"I have met Mr. Ji and Mr. Taiyan, and I suddenly received a reply last night. The strategy made the adults very happy. Two great industrialists of the Republic of China and a master of national martial arts. The adults couldn't leave for a while, and they also knew that the two of them didn't like the noise. Now, there are only three of us who come to greet a few of them!"

Zhang Meisheng smiled and greeted him.

Zhang Jian smiled brightly, "Minister Zhang was joking. It was because I was able to alarm the three ministers to welcome him. It was because the adults were too proud to wait!"

Zhang Taiyan was impatient, but his face was not visible, but the fan was shaking a little faster.

Zhang Jian knew his character and gave him a faint smile, then he saw that his fan suddenly slowed down again.

Tang Hualong and the other two watched it interestingly, but they just smiled. They all had some impression of this domestic master of Park Xue. As expected, they were upright and did not like politics.

If he likes politics, he will probably not be able to end up in this situation!

Zhang Meisheng muttered in his heart.

Zhang Jian pulled Tang Hualong: "Brother Jiwu, you are strong enough to withstand the hot weather. I, the old man, have an old bone. Haha, I can't stand it, I can't stand the weather. How about we find a cooler place to chat?"

Tang Hualong and others knew what he meant, so they hurriedly called a few people to get in the car.

This time, Zhang Meisheng and Wang Zhengting squeezed into a car, but Tang Hualong and Zhang Jian and Zhang Taiyan squeezed into a car. The few followers brought by Zhang Jian followed them into a few carriages next to them. The driver knew the address without asking instructions and rushed to the destination with a few people.

"It's really strange. This car is rarely seen even in Shanghai. I didn't expect to see so many cars in Wuchang!"

After getting on the car, Zhang Taiyan seemed to be riding in the car for the first time. He looked at the layout in the car as if no one was around and muttered to himself.

Tang Hualong laughed, "Mr. Taiyan, you are still the same as before and have not changed at all!"

Zhang Taiyan shook his eyebrows, "Who said there was no change? If there was no change, I would have been on a boat for so many days, just to come to Hubei!"

Zhang Jian smiled. The relationship between him and Zhang Taiyan was not good. He even attacked him in the newspaper for a while. Everyone knows his temperament and has a very ancient style of a national scholar. Therefore, although he doesn't like his lifestyle, he admires his quality.

He found the topic and said, "Jiwu, you are becoming more and more proud of your career now. Some time ago, you even entered the Senate half your foot. How about it? Now Li Yizhi is also a young hero, but he is more skilled than Li Songqing!"

Tang Hualong shook his head with a wry smile. At that time, he really thought he could enter the Senate and serve as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. If Li Han had not persuaded him, he would have made a mistake in making a move, and he might have even dragged Sichuan and Hubei, who had been in the struggle between the Central Committee of Beijing and the Democratic Party, into muddy waters. Looking back now, I still don’t understand what he almost hit that person, and the rest would be a wry smile.

"Mr. Ji, don't laugh at me. Speaking of which, you are now the chief minister of the cabinet. In the past, you were also the chief master and the Grand Secretary. I can only look up to you!"

Zhang Jian smiled but didn't speak. He, the chief of the rural commerce company, was not as powerful as the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in Sichuan and Hubei. The deputy chief was Yuan Shikai's man, and he had no right to speak. He was just a idle job.

Afraid that Zhang Taiyan was depressed, Tang Hualong did not forget to meet him and said, "Mr. Taiyan has been here all the way, but have some opinions on the current people's livelihood in Sichuan and Hubei?"

This chapter of Taiyan once mentioned the tax exemption policy of Sichuan and Hubei in a newspaper. The day before yesterday, he praised him, saying that if he could persist, he would enjoy the people's livelihood. But the next day he changed his words and questioned that Li Han's move was very selfish, probably just for his reputation.

Tang Hualong was very clear about his nature, so he even knew that he would not be angry when he asked him directly.

Sure enough, this chapter was so serious: "Where do I start with these? We set off on a boat to Shanghai, and we were just a quick look. But I heard him Sun Yixian mention that Daye was the determination of Sichuan and Hubei, so I got off the boat in Daye County for a long time and hurriedly saw the current development of Hubei. Let's talk about Lika first. From Jiangsu to Anhui to Jiangxi, there are only dozens of Lika along the way. The slightest officials who urged the cadet to patrol the boats, and there were wailings everywhere. But after entering Hubei, there are no cases! I temporarily visited a former student in Daye and heard him mention that the taxes are now more than half less than the taxes during the reign of the Tartars. It is a 375-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5

It's good. Although some local forces are unwilling to do so, they have reduced the corresponding amount of the corresponding amount, which is a good thing. I have never been to Sichuan, but Hubei was also in war earlier. Although the rich people are full of clouds, there are few beggars and wanderers on the streets in various places. Li Yizhi dares to use money to hire poor people below to build roads. This is just this one, at least hundreds of thousands more people lived last winter. This is a great good deed. I wandered in Hankou yesterday and saw people discussing national trends everywhere. Now in Shanghai, many people are running around for their livelihoods. Comparing the two, it can be seen that the people in Hubei have hope, their pockets are rich, and they can only understand the national affairs if they have a life. Good!"

Zhang Jian nodded and praised, "Daye and his party are really encouraging the people of China. It is said that in less than half a year, the number of people in Daye County has poured into the city, with factories built everywhere in the southeast, and construction sites ten miles north. Mr. Zhongshan once praised that in two years, there will be more powerful "Hanyeping" in the country. I only understand this now!"

It can be seen that Daye and his party were really shocked by the two of them.

The car hurried out of the dock. After the expansion of the Wuchang wharf, there are now three exits. The convoy is walking at the gate No. 1 of the old wharf that is closest to the north. If they pass through the new gate No. 3 on the east, they may also meet a group of acquaintances. The leader is Jiang Fangzhen, who has rarely appeared in recent days.

After Li Han in the Supervisor's Office processed the official documents, he stretched and glanced at the mechanical clock he had just bought before. He suddenly remembered something and asked Cai Qing, who had been with Hou for a long time, and said, "Adminton Li has returned from Jingzhou? If he comes back, ask him to come and see me immediately!"

Cai Qing looked at the time and said, "Sir, this is not very good. It's time for lunch. Aren't you going to entertain guests from afar?"

Li Han frowned and said, "There is still some time left. Go and take Adjutant Li. I feel uneasy if the copper coin case is not solved for a day. In addition, the top scholar came to Wuchang to see what I was doing. By the way, if Mr. Baili comes back from the dock later, please come here too. The subsequent supplies have been followed. Lhasa can no longer be delayed. I will discuss with the teacher!"

"yes!"

His order was soon executed. A few days ago, Li Donglai's intelligence department found evidence of corruption by Liu Zuolong, deputy minister of the Military Control Department, and there was intelligence that showed that he might have participated in the "copper coin case", and it was quite deep in it. As he thought, he learned that in just half a year, Liu Zuolong could actually eat hundreds of thousands of deficits from the Military Control Department. Li Han was furious. In order to hide, the intelligence department used the hidden line on his mansion that night to subdue him, and then late at night the military government sent someone to imprison him in his mansion and interrogate him. After a day of torture

Afterwards, he finally knocked out some information that the military government had been waiting for for a long time. The people he had dated were introduced to him by a foreign company. Because he could get a lot of filial piety every time, he turned a blind eye and kept thinking that he didn't know. After he followed the clues, he found out that the Japanese and Qing foreign company was in two days. In addition, Li Han also knocked out something that was not very good from him. The commander of Jingzhou Sun Guoan also participated in this matter. Liu Zuolong even remembered that several batches of goods were sent to Jingzhou, and the one he accepted was the Jingzhou military government.

After learning the news, Li Han was furious, and he was worried that Liu Zuolong had too many dreams. He was also worried that Liu Zuolong had lost his news for too long to arouse the other party's vigilance, so he immediately transferred the special forces to Li Donglai and ordered him to take his orders to investigate the matter in Jingzhou.

Now, it’s time to hear what he has gained!

"Sir, come to me!"

Li Donglai walked in a few steps, and saw Li Han standing up from behind the desk and said, "Donglai, thank you all the way! I wanted to call you over tonight, but I really didn't feel at ease if I didn't ask about some things. How did the things I explained this time? Was it going well?"

Li Donglai bowed slightly to salute him, but Li Han forced him to sit down and took the tea with his own hands. Li Donglai was moved and said, "Sir, everything is going well. We have found important evidence. We can now determine who the master behind the scenes is..."

Li Han's face was not very good: "Has Sun Guoan also participated in this matter? After I disbanded his Henan Mixed Brigade, he became a little disinterested with me. But I thought I could be more greedy for finances at most. I could get more credit to him today. I just turned a blind eye and transferred him to another place in a few years, but I didn't expect..."

Li Donglai dug out a thick stack of documents from his bag: "Because of the urgent time, my subordinates used some torture. At present, there are many forces involved in this matter, but they cannot fully understand who is making trouble behind the scenes. However, one thing is certain that I am not unfamiliar with the master behind the scenes. Please read it by sir..."

Li Han took the thick stack of official documents and focused on reading it. After only looking at the first page, his face became strange!

"How could it be them?"

He guessed all the forces in the country, but he could not have imagined that it would be them. What is going on?

The first page he opened was a name he was strange and familiar with - Prince Su Shanqi!

How could it be this person?

"Are you right?"

Li Han frowned slightly.

"It should be impossible to make a mistake. My subordinates caught a mouse from Sun Guoan's mansion. It was one of the few people we were targeting. I didn't expect that he got on the boat to Jiangxi before. After getting off the boat in Jiujiang, my subordinates threw it away. This time he caught him in Sun Guoan's mansion!"

Li Donglai said, "I have been wondering why the rats we are targeting are all talking authentic Beijing movies. I used to think that they were the ones under Beijing, but now I have finally confirmed that there is someone else in the black hand. The specific situation will be done until the subordinates knock on his mouth. The mouth we caught was very tight, and it took two days to pry it open. Instead, I pried out some situations from Sun Guoan, knowing that the other party was a person from the former Prince Su's mansion!"

Nodding, Li Han opened the torture report and hurriedly read it. Then he thought for a while, and threw the thing to him. "Your movements must be alarmed. You must move quickly. No matter what method you use, you must pry open his mouth as soon as possible, and also find out for me which forces are involved in this matter and why. I promise you to be fully responsible for this matter, go!"

"yes!"

Li Donglai took back the torture report and saluted and was about to go out when he walked to the door when he heard Li Han's voice behind him, "Wait!"

"Sir, what else do you have to tell me!"

Li Han hesitated for a while and sighed for a long time, "If you find out that someone has participated in this matter with other foreigners, don't touch him for the time being. Now, it won't work..."
Chapter completed!
